No wonder people are hesitant to even use the word cancer
It used to be a terrible disease
Often detected too late
Resulting in death often
We knew so little
Treatments were new and being developed
But things have changed
Early detection makes all the difference
Treatments are better and more effective
Years of trials and research has paid off
Cancer is no longer a death sentence
But being vigilant is important
Screening is important
A healthy life style is important
Prevention is the best treatment
We need not be afraid of cancer
But we do have to be proactive
